Increasingly, patients are making complaints to state licensing boards and filing lawsuits against healthcare providers alleging sexual misconduct. This article addresses the risk management implications of patient allegations of sexual misconduct involving inappropriate touching by healthcare providers during an examination or treatment. From a risk management standpoint, techniques can be implemented before and after these incidents that can help reduce the facility's exposure.
